Volume 1: Frostmourne Chapter 242: The Fountain of Life
Chapter 242 Fountain of Life (Part 1)
Lidu never expected that a person who couldn't keep Long Tian would have such strength. When he thought of Long Tian, his heart froze. Long Tian went to the Imperial Guard to lead the troops, why haven't he arrived yet?
The banquet to celebrate the Holy Scriptures began.
According to the tradition of the Netherworld, the banquet held on Glory Day is a family banquet. Participants must be members of the family and must be job transfers, otherwise it will cause misfortune in the coming year.
Of course, family members do not have to be direct descendants, they can also be people with other surnames who have sworn lifelong loyalty to the family.
Gu Nansheng had already made such an oath when he accepted the Viscount canonization ceremony. Of course, he only regarded this oath as a fart. Xieshuang's identity also made it easier to sneak into this banquet.
As usual, the head of the family should give a speech at the beginning of the banquet, but a few minutes ago the eldest prince sent a message saying that Lidu was unable to attend today's banquet due to poor health.
Therefore, the person who gave the speech at this banquet was the elder of the family. The so-called speech was actually only one or two sentences.
A legendary hero would be in poor health? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a weak lie. Could it be that the head of the Chrissy family had just fought with someone during the day and his spiritual sea was injured?
Gu Nansheng was eating a plate of beef in front of him and looked at the sixth prince across the table with questioning eyes. The sixth prince smiled and raised his glass from a distance. The vermilion Rongdi wine shone dazzlingly under the magic light.
Not getting any valuable information, Gu Nansheng had no choice but to raise his glass, and then the two of them drank it all.
Then, the Sixth Prince took out a bottle of red wine from his inventory, filled it for himself, and walked over to the Seventh Princess.
The seventh princess is a girl in her twenties. She has just picked up her wine glass and is about to drink with the young man sitting next to her.
"Seventh sister, haven't you always wanted this wine glass that I treasure? Let's exchange it."
"Huh?" The seventh princess was stunned, and then she was pleasantly surprised, "It's a colorful crystal cup. Brother Six, you are so kind."
Everyone was drinking vigorously, so naturally no one paid much attention to this little "interlude". At this time, the eldest prince appeared at the door. He nodded and saluted everyone attending the banquet as he walked. He has always been in charge of the family's internal affairs. There is no such thing as a ball or banquet.
Every little thing like this is organized by him.
"Third brother, he may not be here due to some things. Tonight is very casual, everyone can do as he pleases." The eldest prince stepped onto the stage and said with a smile. Except for Gu Nansheng and a few people with other surnames, everyone in the audience was Keli.
The direct children of the Sifu family, the so-called royal descendants, include not only Lidu's children, but also their cousins.
Although the banquet on the Glory Day was only of a family nature, it was very grand. Two important figures were absent in succession, and the great elder's face became a little ugly. It would be fine if something really happened, but the two who were absent were unlucky.
I personally found this weak excuse.
He didn't have a very harmonious relationship with the head of the family, and Lidu's position as head of the family was taken away from him. He wanted to go to the middle palace to see what was "bad" about Lidu's health.
Just as he was about to leave through the main entrance, the eldest prince spoke, "Uncle, the party hasn't even started yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
The great elder said solemnly: "Do you have to take care of me when I leave? I just want to see what happened to your father?"
The eldest prince laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Father will be here soon. There will be a surprise at this banquet. You can't miss it."
"Stop trying to seduce me!" The elder's voice was obviously impatient.
The eldest prince touched his nose awkwardly, "There is a mysterious guest tonight."
The elder frowned and his face became more gloomy, "Guest? Don't you know that this kind of family banquet is only for family members?"...
"Haha, to be honest with the elder, the person who came here is a beautiful woman. I have already taken her as my concubine. She is not considered an outsider."
"Hmph!" the elder said coldly and sarcastically, "Does your concubine deserve to be called the mysterious guest?"
"My concubine is a little special." Although the elder was sarcastic, the eldest prince was not annoyed at all. He raised his glass and said to everyone present: "The dance will start soon. Long Tian is here to greet everyone.
One cup.”
The eldest prince said as he raised his glass to everyone present, smiled, and drank it all in one gulp.
Long Tian had been the heir to the family for the longest time and was more prestigious. Everyone smiled in return, then toasted to the people nearby and drank the whole glass of wine.
Of course, Gu Nansheng didn't have to pay for the eldest prince's debt, but seeing the crystal clear ruby wine and the fact that it had been stored for many years, he couldn't help but be curious to try it.
After taking a sip, it was really fragrant, mellow, sweet and delicious.
Gu Nansheng thought it tasted good, so he drank a glass of wine. Of course, this amount of alcohol was nothing to Gu Nansheng who was used to doing business.
After filling another glass himself, Gu Nansheng put the wine under the light to observe its crystal clear color.
At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if what was in his glass was not wine, but a glass of bright red and strange human blood.
At this time, the eldest prince raised his wine glass and said: "The dance will begin soon. Let me first introduce to you a mysterious guest, the most beautiful woman in the Netherworld Empire - Miss Taxixia!"
Gu Nansheng was stunned when he heard these three words. How could the saint from the Witch Doctor's Tower appear here? And why didn't she use a pseudonym?
When everyone heard the name of the most beautiful woman in the Netherworld Imperial City, they all turned to look at the door. Taxixia's slim figure appeared in everyone's sight, still wearing a long black dress, and her body was like a warm wave.
The spring breeze, the graceful eyebrows are like the light clouds blown away by the spring breeze, the eyes that look forward to life are like the bright moon covered by light clouds, and the delicate nose is like the suet-fat jade under the bright moon. It is obviously as charming as the peach blossoms on the sun.
Infinitely enchanting, but with a purity and elegance like a chrysanthemum in autumn, people can't wait to get close to her, but at the same time, they give rise to a sense of inferiority that is out of reach.
She is truly a beauty in the world, especially her gorgeous and noble yet charming temperament, which makes every man present fall in love with her.
Seeing that the men present were enamored by her, Gu Nansheng shook his head. Even if he knew the sinister intentions of this woman, he could not ignore her beauty, let alone these lustful royal descendants.
He turned his face away slightly to avoid being discovered by Taxixia. Although he had murderous intentions towards Taxixia, he was somewhat unable to do so because of An Qi. After all, An Qi was still very concerned about the reconstruction of the Witch Doctor Tower.
Why did Tarsisia show up tonight? Is it possible?
Gu Nansheng suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he suddenly opened the Eye of Sargeras. Sure enough, there was a trace amount of the Gu mother's eggs suspended in the wine glass.
The Gu Mother bred by the Mother of Blood Bath, there is no reason for those strong below the second level to be spared!
Among the people present, there were very few who had reached the second level or above. In other words, in ten minutes, most of them would be killed on the spot, including the sixth prince Dante.
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng's heart trembled. What method did this woman use to put poison into the wine? This was the wine for the royal banquet and had been carefully checked.
However, this is a good thing for himself. Later, when everyone is poisoned, he only needs to kill Taxixia with one sword, and then he can use the antidote made by the poison-condensing pearl of the Blood Bath Mother in his hand.
"Intimidate" everyone present and extort the fountain of life and some valuable equipment.
Gu Nansheng raised his head and glanced at Dante, who had a calm look on his face and a vague sarcasm on his lips. Is this guy under his control all the situations?…
"Dante, there is poison in the wine." Because of the existence of the dark blood contract, Gu Nansheng hesitated for a moment, and then used magic transmission to remind the sixth prince.
The Sixth Prince smiled slightly after hearing this and raised his glass, "I brought my own wine."
Gu Nansheng was stunned. Did this guy already guess that there was a poison in the wine?
The Sixth Prince sent a message: "Don't touch that woman for a while. She won't be that simple. Don't let her find you. We will wait and see what happens. After the poison is released, the Seventh Princess will go to get the Fountain of Life, hoping to use it to save those idiots."
You followed her, killed her, and took away the spring water."
"You can drink the spring water on the spot. Just a small sip is enough. It can not only restore the broken arm, but also detoxify it. Although poisonous poisons of this level will not threaten the lives of second-level and above strong people,
But it will still affect your combat effectiveness to some extent."
After listening to Dante's words, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This man was too deep in the city.
He had known for a long time that Tarsisia was capable of poisoning, so he pretended to be poisoned even though he was not drinking, and wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
And allowing himself to take the Fountain of Life cut off the only way out for the Chrissy family. Then he could get rid of all the heirs of the Chrissy family who were vying for the throne without spending a single soldier, and then his revenge would be complete.
Half done.
But Gu Nansheng couldn't figure out how Dante could have noticed the existence of Tarsisia, who had been hiding her identity, and how he could have guessed that Tarsisia would poison the celebration banquet of the Day of Glory. It would be too far-fetched to say that he knew what would happen.
.
Could it be that he has colluded with Taxisha?
Are the two of them the same species?
"Can the Seventh Princess go to get the Fountain of Life under Taxisha's watch?"
"Don't worry, she's not poisoned. I've changed her cup. The seventh princess has limited drinking power. She only takes a small sip every time someone toasts her, so she hasn't finished the glass of wine I gave her yet."
Gu Nansheng sighed inwardly, the sixth prince was really flawless in his work.
He glanced at the Seventh Princess in her prime. Although there were many people around her, she only took a small sip every time she drank with others. She still had more than half the glass of wine she drank.
After Tacitia appeared on the stage, she naturally became the focus of everyone. Many confident men had already greeted her with wine glasses. However, they were all rejected by Tacitia. She walked to the mahogany chair in the middle of the hall, where there was a table.
Playing an elegant harp, Taxisha smiled elegantly and said, "The little girl will accompany everyone in this dance."
When Tasisia said this, everyone's passion was aroused. The men invited their female partners to dance. The sound of the piano with a somewhat classical charm sounded, and the magic lights on the dance floor shone softly.
Before the song was halfway through, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Taxixia's mouth, and then the sound of the piano gradually became thicker and thicker, with a hint of murderous aura.
No one noticed that everyone on the dance floor was immersed in the ocean of music. The girl dancing with the eldest prince felt that his whole body was slowly leaning on her. The tight contact made her feel a little at a loss. "First prince, what are you doing?"
"
The girl inadvertently stretched out her hand and touched it. Long Tian's back was already covered with a sticky mess, "Prince, you are dipped in jam."
Without warning, the eldest prince's body was piled on the ground like a puddle of mud, splattering the girl with jam-like meat paste, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
With a heart-rending scream, the girl dancing with the eldest prince fell to the ground, unconscious. The ground was covered with mud-like things. The girl kicked her legs wildly, screamed repeatedly, and her body was trembling.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at this scene in the middle of the dance floor, feeling an indescribable chill behind their backs...
Tasisia stood up, and the hem of her black dress swayed with her movements, like a blooming black rose. "On a black night, you will all die tonight."
Although Tasisya's voice was very small, it seemed particularly clear in this ballroom where the drop of a needle could be heard.
The great elder took a step forward, his face covered with frost, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Taxixia looked at him with a smile and clapped her hands gently. The elder's face suddenly changed and his body was trembling. He felt as if there were tens of millions of ants crawling around in his body.
It was painful and itchy. "Witch! What did you do?"
Taxixia continued to clap her hands and looked at the distorted expression of the Great Elder with a smile, as if she was admiring something very interesting. Her voice was extremely enchanting, "Is it fun? Great Elder. A second-level powerhouse is worthy of being a second-level powerhouse."
, can actually resist the eggs of the Gu Mother, but unfortunately, it is no longer possible for you to restore your peak combat effectiveness."
Gu? The great elder was shocked when he heard this word. When did I get poisonous poison on my body?
Taxixia looked around at everyone leisurely, as if she had seen through everyone's thoughts, and said: "You all drank wine contaminated by the eggs of the puppet, and that's why you were infected with this poisonous poison. What's so surprising about this?"
As soon as Taxixia said this, everyone's expressions changed. They drank the wine contaminated by the puppet eggs? Could it be today's wine?
A prince stood up and said in a stern voice: "Witch, don't fool the public with your lies. The wine used for the banquet has been tested at all levels. How could I give you the opportunity to poison it!"
Taxisha didn't say anything, just looked at him and clasped her fingers lightly. The noble screamed and fell to the ground, trembling all over and wailing again and again.
Everyone shuddered hearing the heart-rending screams.
Taxixia shook her head and said: "The eldest prince Long Tian who is in charge of holding the banquet is my puppet. Do you think I can poison him? Oh, that's wrong, it's not poison, it's the egg of the lovely poison mother. He is responsible for tasting the banquet food and wine.
Naturally, my guards also ate it, but this kind of poisonous poison is very obedient. They will not move without my order. How can those guards taste it?"
After listening to Tasisya's words, everyone was in despair. Some people had already started to lick their throats and wanted to spit out all the wine they drank.
"It's useless. Those poisonous poisons have already entered your blood and reproduced many babies. As long as I have a thought, you will become my puppets. Just like the eldest prince, you can do it for me.
Many things, and fight for me."
"Of course, my poisonous poison can only instantly kill the strong ones below the second level, but this does not mean that the second level strong ones can be safe and sound under my poison. This is a legendary hero level Gu mother."
The people on the dance floor instantly became a mess, and some people had already begun to yell, "Witch! I will drag you on my back until I die." A tall and strong man picked up a chair and pulled it casually. The chair was like a piece of paper.
After being torn into two pieces, he took one of the chair legs, burst out with energy, jumped several meters high, held the chair legs with both hands, and smashed it towards Taxisha's face.
However, as soon as his body flew up, it began to deform, as if his bones had been removed, and his arms and thighs were twisted like twists. Finally, his whole body became like a ball of splashed mud, which hit the ground heavily and splashed everywhere.
All.
However, Tacitia's skirt seemed to be protected by an invisible force and was not splashed at all. She lifted up the skirt slightly, stood on tiptoes and stepped back a few steps, as if she were an aristocratic girl walking on a muddy country road, afraid of being splashed.
The mud stained the uppers of the shoes, which was indescribably beautiful.
"Using the energy in the body will cause the blood to surge up, and you will be poisoned and die instantly, so you'd better calm down a little bit. You will all be my babies in the future. I will feel bad if any one of you dies. And oh, don't even think about shouting.
Save your life or escape from this house, otherwise I will have to endure the pain and let you turn into corpses, haha."….
Everyone suddenly fell silent, and everyone felt a sense of despair.
The great elder covered the seventh princess with his frosty mask, and said through magic: "Seventh girl, tell me, where is the fountain of life hidden?"
"Uncle, I" The seventh princess is a girl in her twenties. She is deeply loved by Lidu. Each successor will be in charge of a part of the family. For example, the eldest prince is in charge of internal affairs, the fourth prince is in charge of the army, and the fifth prince is in charge of business.
The Sixth Prince is in charge of Krisif Academy, the Enchanter Guild, etc.
The seventh princess is only in charge of one item, and that is the fountain of life.
This gives the seventh princess a transcendent status among the eight heirs. Being in charge of the fountain of life means the family leader's absolute trust, otherwise she may be secretly drank.
The Chrissy family's Fountain of Life has always been personally managed by the head of the family. However, in order to prevent the sudden death of the head of the family from causing others to not know the whereabouts of the Fountain of Life, in most cases, the head of the family will send a deputy to take charge of it with him.
"It's been like this, and you're still keeping this secret. If you don't use it to save people, everyone will die."
"But according to the clan rules, you can't do it without the permission of the head of the family."
"Do you want to kill all the heirs of the entire family? Do you want to ruin the future of the family? If the family is gone, the Fountain of Life will be useless!"
When the great elder put down his big hat, the seventh princess could not refute, so she could only agree to get the fountain of life, but she could only get it in person.
The great elder gritted his teeth and said, "I'll cover your way out."
The conversation ended here. The Great Elder suddenly became angry. He endured the pain of the poison poison raging in his body and jumped up high. "Devil, suffer death!"
